Chapter 408: The Earliest Kindergarten
"Slow down! Slow down! Slow down! ...... "Seeing that the children were running in the yard like crazy, they were so anxious that they screamed.
But! No one paid any attention to her.
The children were all playing in high spirits, and no one listened to her.
Confucius moved the table under the eaves, sat on the seat and drank tea, looking at the happy child. Through the children's play, he is observing the nature of these children.
Children can show their true nature when they play freely.
There are many children who are very depressed in the family, controlled by their parents or elders or older siblings, have no freedom, and dare not express themselves and show themselves.
Through observation, Confucius thought in his heart about how to educate children with different personalities.
So! Qi Guanshi was in a hurry, but he was not in a hurry at all. Opposite! I was also touched by the children's happiness. The mood that had been suppressed for a long time was finally released under the laughter of the child.
Fang Zhong and Fang Shu were the youngest, and they were also mixed in the crowd and went crazy with others. But! They have different identities, like the owners here, and they are not afraid of others at all. Other than that! Their parents were there. And also! Their relationship with Mr. and Mrs. is also extraordinary.
"Slow down! Slow down! ”
"Slow down! Slow down! ”
The two concubines were the same, for fear that their son would fall, they were also shouting anxiously.
"Giggle......
The courtyard of Confucius's house was filled with the laughter of children.
Hearing the laughter and laughter of Confucius's house, many villagers were too lazy to work and ran back from the crops to block the gate of Confucius's yard.
Seeing the cheerful figures of the children, they all forgot about the suffering of the world and had smiles on their faces.
Someone sighed in his heart: alas! This is called life!
Fang Jishi saw the happy appearance of his two sons, and he was also in a good mood.
The physique of the two little ones seems to be stronger than the other children.
"Phew! ……”
Suddenly! A whistle came from under the eaves. The courtyard fell silent all at once, and the children all looked at him.
"Class now!" Confucius's face changed and he announced.
When the children heard the sound of class, they ran under the eaves to get their seats. And then! They sat down in order of height. The small man sits in the front and the big man sits in the back, aligned in front of the front, left and right.
After everything was ready and sitting, the children stared at the front of the eaves with little eyes.
Then! The two concubines of the Qi Guan clan and Fang Jishi appeared, and a white cloth linen cloth was hung under the eaves.
On the white linen cloth was written a very large character.
"Oh my God!" Confucius took the lead in chanting.
"Oh my God!" The children followed and chanted.
"Oh my God!"
"Oh my God!"
After reciting it three times, Confucius came to the children, pointed to the top of their heads, and explained: "The top of our heads is the heavens!" ”
And then! He returned to the eaves and taught the children to write the word "heaven".
Because when he was in the Song Kingdom, Confucius had already tried to teach. So! He's got some experience.
The children had no pen and paper, and each had only a small twig in his hand. So they used the branches of the trees as pens, and the earth as paper, and wrote along with them.
The two concubines of Qi Guan and Fang Jishi came to the children and taught those stupid children and children with poor hands-on ability to write.
After teaching the days and learning to write the days, there is a period of recess.
After the children were praised, they were all so happy that they started playing happily again.
Morning! Confucius taught the children two words, one is the word "heaven" and the other is the word "earth". The rest of the time, it's all about playing.
Afternoon! The word "man" was taught. And then! It is to constantly repeat learning, changing tricks and "learning and learning". Unconsciously, the children learned the three words "heaven, earth and man" and could write.
Although there is no pen, it cannot be written on bamboo slips. But! They will be written on the paper of the earth with branches.
Why did Confucius teach students to be in the wild?
Here's why! Without paper and pen, you can only learn to read and write in the wild.
Confucius was the first to use the "blackboard" to write and teach. No! It should be taught with a "whiteboard" handwriting.
He used white linen cloth to make a "blackboard" and then used soot to make ink and write on top of the white linen.
The origin of "black and white letters" originated from the teachings of Confucius!
Since he only taught a few words a day, Confucius generally wrote the words on the "blackboard" at night and hung them out the next day. In the evening, the black letters are washed away and new words are written again, and so on.
From the third day, Fang Jishi went back and did not come back. In order to take care of his son, his two concubines went out early and returned late every day. I send my son to school early in the morning and take him home after school in the evening.
If you want to ask who is the earliest "accompaniment" parent in China, you should count the cornerstone couple.
In fact! Fang Jishi and his wife did this mainly to advertise Confucius's private school.
If others asked, they would say that their son had gone to school with Confucius.
"Go to school with Confucius? Confucius? Who is Confucius? ”
"Don't you know? Confucius is now famous! When he was in the Song Kingdom, he was revered as a 'son'......"
"Who are you talking about Confucius?" Those who didn't know continued to ask.
Fang Cornerstone, or the guards, will introduce it to each other.
"Oh! You're talking about Kongqiu! Is that the one who blows the trumpet? When someone dies in someone's house, he goes and blows the trumpet for them......"
"Kongqiu? Who did I think it was? ”
"! It turned out to be him! Kongqiu! Kong Qiu is now revered as 'Zi'? Hey! The shotgun has changed! Right now! ”
Contempt is contempt, envy and jealousy are envy and hatred, and the fame of Confucius has unconsciously spread throughout the city of Qufu.
The two concubines are not only the "companions" of Fang Zhong and Fang Shu, but also the preschool teachers of the "Confucius Kindergarten".
When Confucius was in class, they taught the children to write, stopped them from making small movements, reminded them to concentrate, and so on.
When they play after class, they are responsible for the safety of the children, preventing the children from falling or fighting with each other, quarreling or whatnot, and being peacemakers.
At noon, they are also responsible for cooking. Not only do you have to cook and eat yourself, but you also have to take care of those "boarding students". There are many parents who don't have time to pick up the baby home for dinner at noon, so they leave the baby directly at Teacher Kong's house.
In desperation, Confucius had to lose money to subsidize the living expenses of these "master-level" students.
Nature! With the ability of Confucius, it cannot be done. The living expenses of these boarding students were not paid by him, and they were all given by Fang Jishi.
Fang Jishi had already agreed, and the tuition fees of his two sons were paid by one person for ten people, and the tuition fees of his two sons were paid for twenty people.
Every day! When the guards brought the two concubines over, they would buy the noon dishes and bring them over.
